ABSTRAK Pada saat ini, banyak sekali bahasa yang muncul karena kondisi yang beraneka ragam terutama di negara Indonesia. Masyarakat cenderung mengalih bahasa dari bahasa satu ke bahasa lain atau disebut juga alih kode. Alih kode hampir digunakan oleh setiap orang termasuk kalangan selebriti yang cenderung mengalih kode bahasa di tengah-tengah percakapan khususnya ketika sedang diwawancarai di berita infotainment. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menemukan jenis alih kode yang digunakan, apakah alih kode situational, metaphorical, intrasentential, atau intersentential yang banyak muncul, untuk mendiskusikan elemen-elemen di dalam alih kode intrasentential, dan untuk mengetahui persepsi penonton tentang alasanalasan mengapa selebriti mengalih kode. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif. Pesertanya adalah 21 selebriti Indonesia seperti aktris, aktor, penyanyi, dan model di berita infotainment (Insert, IGossip, Kiss, Espresso, Cek&Ricek) dan 38 mahasiswa/i fakultas sastra Universitas Katolik Soegijapranata untuk mengetahui persepsi penonton tentang alasan-alasan mengapa selebriti mengalih kode dengan cara menyebar kuesioner. Instrumen yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah rekaman dan kuesioner. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan metaphorical (98.7%) dan intrasentential (91.5%) banyak ditemukan di tengah-tengah pengucapan para selebriti. Kata benda adalah elemen yang banyak muncul yang mana sering digunakan oleh para selebriti. Dan berdasarkan persepsi penonton, para selebitis melakukan alih kode mungkin dikarenakan oleh rasa bangga (78.9%), pilihan topik (5.3%), humor (5.3%) dan kebiasaan (10.5%).
